Rate Alerts

The Rate Alert tab lists the alerts for your loans. Rate Alerts automatically alert you when a rate or price target for a loan has been reached. Rate alerts are set on the Summary tab when creating a loan.

If the target price or rate becomes available for a loan, the alert Status changes to Triggered, and an Alarm Clock icon displays on the My Loans tab in the Action column.

Status

Alerts can have one of the statuses listed below:

  • Active - An active alert is automatically being monitored to reach set targets
  • Triggered - A target rate or price is available, the alert has been triggered, and you have been sent an email notification
  • Acknowledged - An alert has been triggered, and you have acknowledged the receipt of the alert
  • Canceled - An active alert has been canceled
  • Expired - An active alert has reached its expiration date
